Chapter 2558: Chapter 2532: Rejecting the Challenge (Second Update)
She and Wen Jiu actually disapproved of Qiu Wen’s character; a man who, relying on his master’s resources to advance his level of cultivation, chose to stay in the outer sanctums for his own safety and stability, wielding power instead of ascending to the inner sanctums to face challenges. No matter how talented, he was nothing more than a petty person.
Originally, if Ye Chen were as proud as the legends say, a man who could stand upright and tall, even if he were crushed by Qiu Wen, she and Wen Jiu would have taken action to save Ye Chen.
Although they were no match for Qiu Wen, he could not disregard their seniority; combined, they should be able to withstand a few of Qiu Wen’s moves.
But now, she realized how terribly wrong she had been; not only was Ye Chen far from being able to stand upright and tall, he was even worse than Qiu Wen!
He was the kind of person she despised the most.
Ye Chen, however, did not take any of the idle gossip to heart; he did things based solely on his own thoughts, not others’ opinions.
He said to Yuexin, “Let’s go.”
His figure moved, about to leave through the crowd.
But suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Ye Chen, Zhao Shangzhi blocking his path with a cold smirk.
At the same time, a faint voice came from behind Ye Chen.
“I want to ask, Little Brother Ye, why did you admit defeat so easily? I heard you are very proud, right?”
He still wore a smile, but his gaze began to chill.
He always preferred to be civil before resorting to force; if Ye Chen answered well, he wouldn’t be opposed to letting Ye Chen go.
But if Ye Chen answered poorly…
Heh heh.
Ye Chen turned around, looking at Qiu Wen and said, “Are you sure you want to know?”
“Of course.”
Qiu Wen was ready for Ye Chen to belittle himself before him, spit on his own face, using Ye Chen’s inferiority to elevate himself, ready to savor everyone’s awe of him.
“Because, right now, you’re not worth my effort.”
A crowd of disciples was shocked again; Wen Min’er, who was just about to leave, also abruptly stopped her steps, turned her head back, and looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.
What’s the matter with this guy?
A moment ago, he was acting like a coward, and now, why so arrogant?
Could this be the legendary split personality?
Qiu Wen’s face, however, instantly turned ice-cold and stiff, the smile disappearing.
His eyes revealed murderous intent as he coldly said, “Not interested? Are you saying, you are stronger than me? That the gap between us is so large that fighting me would just be a waste of time for you?”
Qiu Wen was undoubtedly proud, even more prideful and concerned about his reputation than anyone else!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the outer sanctums for so long!
He cannot tolerate any insult from anyone!
“Ye Chen, I’m giving you a chance now, a chance to save your life. Kneel before me, kowtow, and tell everyone that you are just a dog in front of me, Qiu Wen. I might let you go otherwise…”
“You know, life and death duels between sanctums are banned, but as long as no one dies, it’s not considered a life and death duel, right? For instance, losing an arm, or a leg?”
As Qiu Wen’s words fell, the air around him violently fluctuated, a terrifying presence surged from within him, carrying boundless might, spreading in all directions!
In an instant, most of the disciples took a step back!
Their eyes widened, staring at Qiu Wen in utter shock!
This, this is the power of the Tian Wen Bloodline?
How terrifying, the moment the aura of the Tian Wen Bloodline emerged, everyone felt as though Qiu Wen had suddenly grown much larger, seemingly becoming a sage who challenges Heaven with martial arts!
Wen Jiu looked at Wen Min’er with a troubled expression, “This Tian Wen Bloodline is too terrifying, even if we join forces, we can’t withstand a single move from Qiu Wen, right?
Min’er, you understand now, right? Pride comes with a price. If this boy had given in, now, he would have already left—safely and soundly!
You talk about temperament? Temperament is indeed important, but, that’s under the premise that you are alive!”
Wen Min’er also looked at Ye Chen with flickering beautiful eyes, could it be, she was really wrong?
Ye Chen looked at Qiu Wen expressionlessly, flipped his wrist, and grasped the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword, facing the terrifying pressure emitted by the Tian Wen Bloodline without any reaction.
He dislikes trouble, not afraid of it.
If someone wants to die, he won’t stop them.
Qiu Wen seeing that Ye Chen was actually planning to make a move, couldn’t help but reveal a ferocious smile:
“Good, it seems like you have decided to accept this battle to the death?”
In his hand also appeared a black and white Dragonslayer Sword, this sword was clearly an Ancient Artifact!
Just as everyone held their breath, just as the battle between Qiu Wen and Ye Chen was about to erupt, suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang out in front of the Divine Devil Pond.
“Wait a moment!”
“Min’er, what are you doing!?”
Wen Jiu’s expression changed, wanting to stop her, but it was already too late.
Wen Min’er’s figure flashed, appearing between Ye Chen and Qiu Wen.
Qiu Wen raised his eyebrows, looking at Wen Min’er with interest, “Wen Min’er, what do you want to do?”
Wen Min’er said, “Qiu Wen, someone of your status shouldn’t be fighting a disciple from the Servant Institute, right?”
Although, just now Ye Chen’s response was very arrogant, making people feel somewhat conceited and egotistical, but at least Ye Chen had the courage to challenge Qiu Wen, he had the courage to accept the fight!
Since Wen Min’er saw what she wanted to see, then she would do what she feels she ought to do.
No matter how strong Qiu Wen is now!
After saying that, Wen Min’er slightly turned her head, looked behind her at Ye Chen, and whispered, “Leave, now.”
Ye Chen looked at Wen Min’er oddly, what was this all about?
He and this woman, they shouldn’t know each other, right?
Wen Min’er seeing Ye Chen not moving, couldn’t help but frown slightly, “If you and Qiu Wen start fighting, with his current strength, I’m no longer confident I can save you, you know this…”
Before Wen Min’er could finish, Ye Chen calmly interrupted, “I don’t seem to recall asking for your help?”
“You!”
Wen Min’er was stunned for a moment upon hearing this…
With her looks, her status, within the Divine Extreme Sect, no one has ever spoken to her like this…
Not to mention, this time she was actually offering her help!
How could this person be so ungrateful?
Actually outright rejecting her goodwill!?
For a moment, Wen Min’er was furiously enraged, snorted coldly, turned her head, and stopped caring about Ye Chen. If he wants to die, let him die then!
But even though she was reluctant to admit it, deep down in Wen Min’er’s heart, a trace of admiration for Ye Chen arose.
If Ye Chen had really run away as she said, although she would have saved Ye Chen’s life, she might have lost interest in Ye Chen from then on.
But Ye Chen’s genuinely strong, fearless attitude faintly made her care about Ye Chen even more.
